Great video, thank you. helpful for me as tomorrow I get delivery of the Audi Q8 S Line Prestige, so I have an idea of all the features available on the car. Got the full spec one with the 22 inch rims on it. Cant wait to drive it around.
Hey Brian.... I just test drove the Q8 today during the lunch hour in Raleigh NC. It was great 2 👍 thumbs 👍 up. I definitely will be claiming me one this year. Keep up the good work 👏.
Great video, great vehicle. I love it, fully loaded though, and love those exact colors, though there are a few colors I'd consider. One question: Do you think the loaded Prestige SQ8 put into its Comfort mode would drive as quietly and smoothly, especially as smoothly, as this Prestige Q8 does in its Comfort mode? I would definitely get the fully loaded Prestige in whichever vehicle I got, the Q8 or SQ8. That air suspension and that 4 wheel steering (front and rear not just front) I love, among other things. I do wish you could get the racing wheel that is flat on the bottom here in the US on either vehicle, but not a priority. I also wish they offered the option of the 20" wheels instead of the 22" ones in the top of the line Prestige of either, just for that little extra absorption on rougher roads, of which there are many in ski country.
I believe Audi actually does offer a smaller wheel choice for the SQ8, although I’m not sure if they were 20” or 21”. To answer your question about the quietness of the ride between SQ8 and Q8 - there shouldn’t be any difference between the two if equipped with 22” wheels. The only difference I can think of would be with the engine noise. You can hear the V8 grunt almost always with the SQ8 (not a bad thing!) - I hope this helped and thanks for watching!
Which specific color of the Audi color options is that interior leather? It's beautiful, especially with the black exterior, though I suspect with the dark grey or even Navarro Blue exterior color too. (I am seriously considering a 2022 Audi Q8 Prestige, loaded, but I need to find out which if any features may not be available due to the chip shortage issue affecting a number of the auto manufacturers. I have been considering the SQ8 Prestige, loaded, but it comes in about $25k to $30k more, so this Q8 in the $90k's fully loaded may be the sweet spot.)
You won’t get: •Audi Voice Box, which is wireless charging and a feature that boosts up your phone signal by connecting it to your cars antenna. •Integrated Toll Module Both of those features are important to me
Came back to this excellent review. I wonder two things if you or anyone knows: One, can you get this exact vehicle with the black exterior and that beige leather interior with black interior surround, but with a black interior roof or headliner whatever it's called instead of that light color above your head? That light colored interior roof is attractive, so some will prefer it, but I don't, I prefer a black interior roof to go along with the rest of the interior that is black all that contrasts so beautifully with that beige colored leather. And two, can you get the fully loaded Prestige, but without the sun/moon roof? And if not, what is the highest trim and feature load you can get this without the sun/moon roof? As much as I'd love that oversized sun/moon roof above, I'm a tall guy, a tad over 6'2", and the extra couple inches I'd likely gain in headroom by not having that sun/moon roof would make all the difference in the world to me. In fact, the only two reasons I didn't buy this late 2021, was this headroom issue for me, which can be fixed by slightly reclining the front seat but I'd rather not have to do that, and my indecision over getting the Q8 Prestige or SQ8 Prestige with the optional sports package. Incredible vehicles in either case, I just like the better mpg of the Q8, but the better power of the SQ8. Leaning towards the Q8 though. Actually there was one other reason, though I've since come to terms with this one. I wish I could get the fully loaded Prestige, sans the sun/moon roof if possible, but with the 21" or even 20" wheels for the thicker rubber sidewalls, instead of the 22"rs that come with the high end package. The 22"rs are beautiful, and may improve handling a tad over the others, and I've heard enough youtubers comment on how smooth these drive on the 22"rs with the air suspension and such, so I'd get the 21"rs if I could, but not being able to would not cause me to not get this.
Finally getting my next week after waiting 8mons!!
Well worth the wait!
Congrats!
@@tydrives4846 thanks!

Very Good Looking ... Good Clean Design 👌🏻👍🏻🥳
By the way very nice and comprehensive review 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Ordered mine 4 months ago so hopefully not long now. I’m part ex my q5 and A7 which are both brilliant cars
Always do a 360° (or at least 180°) walk around so that the whole car fits to your view. People will see how the car looks like.
Comprehensive and informative. Thank you. I am looking forward to your review of the SQ8 and the RSQ8
I got one through my Costco vehicle program can’t wait for its arrival.
What were the savings going through Costco?
I don’t believe you.:
I just bought one but by the time it comes in, it will be a 2023.
Congrats 👏🏾
It’ll be worth less then
Getting ready to order mine and I was told 6 months.
@@antwelacato7045 I was getting ready to also, but I just couldn’t get over the fact that it looks like a soccer mom suv.
@@allaboutcars4835 what are you getting
Very informative. Great info. Thanks

Brian This is the most expense? It is nice
Supper soft performance
Thank you Audi .........
God bless you !
👍🙏🌹❤️
Very nice
Ordered one on Monday, 3.0 diesel model (UK) Black Edition in Daytona Grey with 22" alloys.
Show off!
How much cost for the Audi Q8 total after the tax included and which one you recommended the Q7.and Q8 as compared to any things best ?

is this the same car as rsq8?
Anybody have thoughts on q8s “not” wanting to accelerate or go forward, I heard it’s a problem with q8.
Tail pipes , option?
Needs more Power for that Price. You have Fords, Chevys and Jeeps with more punch.
Q8 at such price point has fake exhausts, unbelievable!
Omg your hands hahaha
Zou ever worked a day in your life with those? You're missing some nail polish miss 😂
Set mine on fire the other day because I was bored. Ordered a helicopter instead, my plane is my favorite so far
